Moderation is evil. who exactly is going to decide what is good behaviour or bad? Or are you going to sit with him and counsel him? Put him on a couch and reform him? Such big brother attitude does not belong in a LUG. Either keep the person - or ban him. Moderation is also not good for the soul of the moderator - sooner or later it goes to his head and he becomes a tyrant. As far as I know this list has been governed by peer pressure so far - please keep it that way.
This is strange. To protect the freedom of the member in question we should throw him out instead of giving him a chance to improve. Moderation is only a temporary measure to ensure that inappropriate mails do not reach the list and trouble everyone. Who decides that the mail is inappropriate; well some already want to throw the member out, what more proof?
